In fantasy football, the allure of drafting rookies often leads to risky choices that can hurt your team. With the 2025 redraft leagues approaching, several rookies are generating buzz but come with caution flags. Players such as Tetairoa McMillan, Travis Hunter, and RJ Harvey are among those whose current average draft positions (ADP) are too high given their uncertain roles and competition on their respective teams.

McMillan, despite being a top receiver in his class, faces competition from veteran Adam Thielen and second-year player Xavier Legette, making him a gamble at WR22. Similarly, Hunter, who is being drafted before established names like Courtland Sutton and George Pickens, has an undefined role that could limit his production significantly. Meanwhile, Harvey's value has diminished with the addition of J.K. Dobbins to the Broncos' backfield, suggesting a split in touches that could cap Harvey's upside.
